This is Coffee Convos with Kale Lowry and Lindsey Chrisley. I really want you to be in your feels, Kale. That does not interest me whatsoever. I feel very attacked by you. A spirited discussion about motherhood, friendship, family, and life in the public eye. I'm just not with the fakery anymore. There's a fakery bakery around here.

Here's Kailin Lindsay. Good morning and welcome back to another episode of Coffee Convo's podcast. We're calling this comfy podcast. Comfy podcast. Hello, Lindsay Chrisley. Do you remember back when we were in college? So sometime around like anywhere from 2007 to like maybe 2013 where we wore flair yoga pants and big t-shirts. Yeah, I actually still have my pink fold over flair yoga pants. Oh, from Victoria's Secret. Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah, I had every pattern, every everything but I'm wearing the Amazon yoga flares right now and this like Johnny Cash t

shirt that is the size of like my dad's. I love it though. I texted you and I was like, are we going comfy or no? Because I have a meeting after this and I was like, I was not in comfies. I'm in eye gels. I have a jate roller. I'm just you're doing it. You're just doing the most. I'm I'm doing the most with the least. So how are we? We're good. How are you? I haven't talked to you on a podcast in a hot minute.

I know. I'm just you know, trying to survive decided to take a last minute little trip to Mexico and had to let me back that up. I didn't have to do anything. I wanted to order outfits because, you know, I don't like to be an outfit repeater. So I ordered new outfits from Amazon and I'm just like praying to everything holy that they actually show up but I have this really funny story to tell you so as I'm ordering these outfits. My boyfriend was like, Oh, you know, you would look so cute and like one of those belly chains. Oh my god. Like with your bathing suit.

I can't wait to see this. And I'm like, that would be actually so cute. And it's something that I would shopping. And I mean, I was too margaritas deep in my defense while I was doing this. I'm scared. This is what I order. 12 belly chains. So he's like, let me see your Amazon order. So he's scrolling down through it. And he's like, what the fuck the fuck is this like that is not what I was talking about So he went and ordered me two different ones that

Kind of fit more my aesthetic. I look like master T like Literally you were like, oh bad I'm gonna order one that's like 15 and one. Oh, yeah, but it's like so thick. And like, he's like, Lindsay, what are you trying to hide with that? You need to put it on the spot now. Like we need a picture. Well, the best part was he ordered this like comfy set off of Amazon as well. And he was showing it to me. And I said, first of all, you don't even wear shorts. So like, why do you have this? Second of all, those look like basketball shorts and definitely not something that you would wear. Like maybe five inch shorts, not shorts to the kneecaps. Who do we think we become when we go on vacation? Like, why do we do this?

I don't know. But you know what has become one of my favorite things to do since this is transpired? What? It's so interesting. Like just type in random shit on Amazon and then just go look at their reviews because they're fucking hilarious. This is taking the place of the mugshots that you told me about in the Southern tea. This is taking the place of the mug shots that you told me about in the Southern T. I mean, I'm still doing that, but 1000% this has become another hobby of mine.

Some of the pictures that people post on there of other people wearing it that they've purchased it for, I'm like, number one, you should be shot for buying that for them. And number two, you should be shot again in the back of the head for posting this picture of this person. My God. Welcome to Coffee Convo's, where we're shooting everybody apparently. I'm just like, what the fuck? So obviously I'm here, which I'm never here.

Well, I'm here, but just in the background, but I'm here because Kail is quite the world traveler and has lots of fun interviews in New York. So I'm subbing in this will be a interesting switch up for the kitty gang. Since everyone keeps asking in the Facebook group about your health stuff, would you like to give everyone an update on how that's going? Sure. So I just got back from Arizona. I went out there to the Mayo Clinic to get a second opinion on all the things that are going on with me. I do in fact have a diagnosis. I did find out that I have MS, unfortunately, multiple sclerosis for those who don't know what MS is. So at the very beginning of that whole process of figuring

out what medication I'm going to try first, doing all the testing to see what medications will be okay, I did find out that it is a relapsing remitting, which is the most common form of MS, which is good. What does that mean? So essentially with that one specifically, you have periods of remission where you're doing okay from what I've gathered, where you're doing pretty well. Sometimes you don't have any symptoms of what's going on with you at all. Sometimes just mild symptoms, but you're pretty okay.

And then you will have periods of relapsing where you develop a new lesion or that's causing symptoms. This is my general understanding. So anybody in the kitty gang that has MS, feel free to correct me. This is just my general understanding that certain periods of time you'll just not be doing as well and could develop new symptoms and things like that. But it is a lucky kind, I guess, if I want to say that, because you do have expected periods of being okay. And then all the medications out there that my doctors are talking about

trying me on are to prevent progression, try to slow down progression of the disease. Unfortunately, MS does not have a cure right now, but they apparently have some really good options. I do have a more aggressive case of MS from what they're telling me because I have a lot of lesions that have developed in my spine, which is indicative of more aggressive and more progression. But they seem hopeful with all the different medication options that I could try that I will be okay. So that's kind of what's going on right now. I have lots of doctor's appointments set up to get some things like tested and blood work and all those things, and then I'll be starting

treatment. So we'll see how it goes. So do you have to do all of that stuff before any of the treatment starts? Yeah. So unfortunately for me, I have a documented allergy to steroids, which is really, really uncommon. I haven't taken them in 10 years. So they told me at Mayo Clinic, I need to get with an allergist to get testing done to see if like what the allergy severity is. They told me that if it's anything less than anaphylaxis, it's kind of up to me if I want to deal with it or not. If it's anaphylaxis, then I'm kind of screwed there.

But three out of four of the medications that they recommended for me and my case specifically, you have to take steroids as part of the treatment. So I would not be a candidate for those if I do come back with anaphylaxis as a reaction to it. So crossing my fingers that that's not the case. Got to find myself a good allergist to add to my slew of doctors these days. Listen, speaking of allergists, I don't know what it is or if it's common and if it's more common in women than it is common in men.

But I've been saying I need to go to an allergist, I feel like, for two years and still have not gone. Do allergies for people just get worse over time? Or can you gain another allergy and not have one that you had before? I don't understand allergies. Yeah, you can. So for example, when I was younger, I actually developed an allergy to raspberries that I don't think I have anymore. Oh, wow. So you can outgrow allergies to certain things. Same thing with my like asthma, right? So I've been I was asthmatic as a kid all the way through my teens. Luckily,

haven't had an issue with asthma since then. But I was I was a nebulizer kid, like I had the nebulizer, albuterol and all that stuff that I had to take multiple times a week. And when it was bad, it was multiple times a day. So I thankfully outgrew that same thing with allergies, you can outgrow them, you can gain them. I have a family friend that had no allergies her entire life. She woke up one day, went to go bite into an apple and was allergic to not just apples, but developed allergies to like everything. It was like a systemic allergy thing that had just happened to her.

That's so crazy. Because I feel like that's how I was. I was allergic to absolutely nothing as a kid never had any worries, nothing. And I'll find myself having reactions to certain things that I eat just at random. Yeah, it's it's so weird how our bodies like continuously change and can kind of drop old things and then get new ones. It's not it's not great. I know that you had said that MS can trigger other things or MS can be triggered by other things. So

how do they run an allergy test with knowing that you already have an MS diagnosis? So I don't think that the MS is going to affect the allergy test. The only thing that I'm getting tested for to my knowledge is the steroid. And I don't even know how they're going to do it. Because when I ended up in the hospital at the beginning of last year with when this all started, they told me that I was like, can't you just give me because like, the first treatment for when you're in an MS flare is steroids, like the TIDO steroids. So when I went in, and they knew that I had the allergy, they were like, well, we have to give you something else, we can't even do this. And I said, Well, can't you just give me like a little bit and see what happens? They said, No, they said we would have to admit you to

the ICU to do like, oh, wow, to do something like that. And I was like, Oh, I'm passing on that. So when I was at the Mayo Clinic, and they told me to do an allergist, I was like, I didn't even know that was an option. This is what I was told. And they said, Well, we don't want to like speak for the allergist themselves. We know that that sometimes they do do that. But there's also patch testing and things like that, that they might be able to do outside of admitting you to the ICU. So I think allergy testing wise, the MS shouldn't affect it. As far as other things triggering the MS, like stress, they told me is a huge, huge part of it. So trying to manage

your stress levels, making sure you're getting enough sleep, trying not to get sick. Because when you get sick, it's an autoimmune condition. So anytime your immune system is activated on for any reason, you have a higher propensity of getting more lesions and things like that. Because it's basically just a hyperactive immune system that then turns around and in turn, instead of attacking what it should attack, it attacks my, it's like the coating of your nerves, it's called like the myelin sheath. So it attacks that and then it basically strips it and that's when you

start getting damage and symptoms and things like that. How common is MS and is it more common in women than it is men? So it's definitely from what I've learned, it's definitely a women's disease. The typical onset of symptoms is right in my age group. So between 30 and 40, as far as how common it is, what I just learned at Mayo Clinic was that it's a one, every one in 1000 people have like will get MS. So it's not super common. But Kale just texted me this morning and one of her friends posted on Facebook that they just found out they have MS. I don't know a single person that has it

like in my immediate circle in my family, like my friend group, nobody. And for that, I'm genuinely grateful. But, you know, it is, I feel like I'm hearing more about it now. And I don't know if it's because that's just like, my phone and how it works. Like, you know what I mean? Like, you see things that you're going through. I feel like that's so true. Like, if you have researched something or talked about something, it just seems like it's more out there than what you realize. I don't know if you remember Katie, my friend

from the Southern Tea and then one of my lifelong best friends, Katie, they were both diagnosed with breast cancer about a year apart from each other. And yes, I had heard of breast cancer, but not to the degree of things that I had heard when they were diagnosed. And I just think it's like when your life involves something like that, then you're more aware. All right.

I just saw something this morning about I think it was a former bachelorette unfortunately getting a worse diagnosis than she already had. Katie Thurston, I don't know if you're familiar with her, saw that this morning before I got on this recording and I was just like, you know, there's a lot of crazy things going on. What did it say? She now believes that she has stage four breast cancer where she thought it was, where they

determined it was stage three, but she believes that it's now metastasized, I think to her liver. Oh, wow. If I'm not mistaken, there's like different spots and stuff. So there's a lot spots and stuff. So there's a lot of people. I specifically, I Katie for me, Katie Harrell was the first person. And then obviously your other friend Katie, and I've just seen it all over the place. Unfortunately, you know, in my case with the autoimmune diseases, there are so many people finding out that they have autoimmune

diseases now, especially after they're kind of just figuring out what COVID did, you know, to our immune systems and things like that. But is there genetic predispositions for autoimmune? Or do you develop autoimmune from something else? Or is it environmental? So the way Mayo Clinic described it to me when I was out there recently, they told me that there's kind of like it's multi part, specifically to MS they were talking about. So they said, you know, it's one in 1000 people will get MS. There are like over 200 different, I'll say genes, but I could be butchering this. They said there's a genetic component that indicates like you have a higher likelihood

of developing it, which comes from over 200 different genes that could cause something like that, can cause this to happen. However, they described it that you also need an environmental trigger for basically it to actually develop is the understanding that they gave me. No one, and it doesn't have to be just MS, right? So I was very much harping on ever since I found out that this is what it was, I was like, nobody in my family has this.

So where, I know it doesn't have to just be that, but like, where did it come from? And then little did I know that I have different autoimmune diseases kind of scattered throughout my family. I only know about my mom's side. So found that out. And like that right there can heighten your risk does not mean and it wasn't MS, right? So there's like rheumatoid arthritis and things like that. I don't have rheumatoid arthritis, but I got MS. So it's just there's genetic components. But then they didn't say that there's like an environmental factor that also has to kind of play a role. So it's, it's kind of almost like the perfect storm occurred environmental factors scare the shit out of me. Yeah, that was one of the things that I talked about, because Cory and I, you know, obviously, with all

this going on, and then finding out that I had MS, I was like, I don't, you know, what does this mean for kids was one of the, like, we've had private conversations about that, and was really, really upsetting to me, because I thought, you know, in my head, I'm like, does this mean, if I have a kid, I'm going to give it to them? Right. So I asked them at Mayo Clinic and they were like, No, it does not mean that. Does their chances become higher? Yes, they do. But again, it's like so multi part that it's not like a direct like you got it. So they're getting it. I just feel like you're doing all the right things because I know private

conversations that you and I had that you wanted to be informed and making educated decisions before bringing a child into this world and I think that you know you have to do what you feel is right for you. Nobody else can make those decisions for you Although the information that you did give me that came from the Mayo Clinic regarding that. I don't feel like it's that scary. Yeah, it's not as scary. So you know, they told me that basically the chances go from one in 1000 to one in 300, which initially shocked me scared me really bad. Yes. And then luckily, we have really good friends of ours that are out in

Arizona that we were seeing while we were there. And then luckily, we have really good friends of ours that are out in Arizona that we were seeing while we were there. And I was telling her about it. And I was really upset. And she came back to me the next day. And she was like, Well, I just want to let you know that that really is a 3% risk, which there's a 3% risk of all kinds of shit bringing a kid into the world. Not just for MS. She was like, so kind of, you know, don't let that specifically be your determining factor. And at the end of the day, like I felt I'm like 31, right? So I'm like, Oh my god, like, I

don't really have that much time left. And then when I was talking to them at Mayo Clinic, they were like, you're only 31. Like you're not. You're literally only 31. You're fine. Like you have time, like, let's take care of you, let's get you on right treatments, let's get you on a good plan, let's try to do what we can to like minimize symptoms and all those things. And then you have time to worry about that. Like this is not going to affect your fertility,

like it doesn't do any of that. I think that as women, for a lot of us, our dreams were as kids to grow up and get married and start a family. It's not everybody's dream, but that was my dream. And I know that you had dreams or have dreams to have children. I just feel like anything could come up at any time and I would not let this be a deterrent for you having a family. There's also other ways that you can have a family

outside of genetically, and that's an option as well. Also, I think a lot of women stress so much that have not found their life partner by the time they're 30 or 31 years old, and they're like, my years old. And they're like, my time clock my time clock. That's something that we've been told and that has been impressed upon us. Well, multiple people who have had children in their 40s.

Everybody it's so interesting because, you know, I look at my own situation and there. My mom had me when she was almost 38. Oh, I did not know that. Yeah. So I'm like, what the hell am I worried about? Like, what am I worried about? Yeah, she didn't have she had my brother when she was like 31. And then she had me when she was like 38. What do you think about gaps that big with kids and same parents? I feel like from my experience, because I have a brother, and then it's me, he was my older brother, we were

closer when I was younger. And then I haven't lived with my own brother since I was 11 and a half. He moved out when I was 11 and a half. Because he would have been 18 by that point, right? Yeah, he was 18. He joined the National Guard and then ended up going into the Army and deploying and all that stuff. So we definitely are very distant. Love him, still my brother, but we don't have...

There's just such a big age gap. But I also think I see people who make it work. And it just works naturally. I think in our case, it was just we're very different people. So that also plays a huge role in it. And I don't know, like, I feel like it obviously wasn't planned that way. My mom had two miscarriages in between us. like it obviously wasn't planned that way. My mom had two miscarriages in between us. So it was not planned like that. But I don't know any different, if that makes sense.

I mean, I was asking because I'm the oldest of five and Grayson is the youngest. So there's a 17 year gap between us. So it feels a lot more paternal than a sibling. Yeah. And then I think about Jackson and I'm like, Okay, even if I got pregnant, anytime soon. He's already 12. So essentially would be like starting that game all over again. Yeah. How does that make you feel when you think about it? Not scared. I was having a conversation about this other day and I feel like I'm just like in such a completely different life place than what I was whenever I had him. I had him, did I feel like the stresses wouldn't be the same? Probably, probably as much just different. Because now I know a lot more.

So a lot of the stuff that I was doing, it was just kind of like, I think I'm doing this right. Yeah. Now I know a lot more. So I feel like I have a lot more things to think about. But I feel like I can manage lot more things to think about. But I feel like I can manage my stress much better as an older person than I could when I was young. I felt like I was just like a kid having a kid.

Yeah. Yeah. I think from everything that I've heard from people who have kids like their first kids or whatever in their 30s, a lot of them are so bad that they waited for the sole fact that like, they have more patience and just like, it's not as stressful. Yeah. Um, it would just be interesting. Obviously, life definitely changes whenever you have children. And I feel like the last minute Mexico trips wouldn't happen. Probably not. Probably. Yeah,'t happen. So probably not. Probably. Yeah.

Well, I think maybe not. I will say I have a cousin who has one child and that's how they always wanted it. And they do stuff like that all the time. They just take him with just like on a whim. Yeah. Like, oh, we're going to Aruba. Oh, we're going to Greece. Oh, we're going to Italy. See, I can honestly get behind that. One thing that I, so you know how I told you that I was like throwing up before I got on

the podcast and I just have like major anxiety right now? Yeah. I think there's like a plethora of things that are going on. But one of the things is that I know Will and Jackson are about to leave to go to the Bahamas and Jackson's never gone on a trip like on an aircraft with will without me ever. Yeah. And so I think I'm just like a little bit terrified of that. And then also knowing I'm going to be in Mexico, I have to like, reason with

myself. It's like internal talk, right? I'm like, well, I'm going to be in Mexico. So if something goes wrong, and I'm like, well, and do you are still going to be in Atlanta? Right? Like you're still going to be a plane away, which is probably not comforting for any mom to be no, I'm not in the vicinity of my child. It's, it's not. And when will sending me text messages asking

me for like very standard things that he should have at his house, it's causing me a great deal of alarm that my child is going to the Bahamas with him on aircraft without me. Yeah. I mean, I get that. Okay, let's talk about food because I need some healthy options. Maybe you do too. And we love Cook Unity.

I need to ask you, if you were putting your child on a technology freeze and they were going on a plane ride and going out of the country to a place that they've never been before. Would you give them their phone? I feel like it negates the technology freeze and the reasons why we took it. In this situation, coming from a not parent perspective, just coming from like a logic and safety standpoint, I would give

the phone, but I would put parental controls on it. Like I would like block like you're not going on YouTube. Like you can make calls and you can text these people. And that's it. I wish I bought Jackson that little phone. It's called like a fly or something. I don't know what it's called, but it's the one where you have to just like pre program the numbers and you can only get calls in and out for those numbers. And I'm like the joys of the restrictions, man.

I can't listen. I could not imagine parenting today. Like in today with. I will be honest with you. Some of the stuff that I have found on the phone, luckily, luckily it wasn't him doing it. It was what was being sent to his phone. But I've told him you are guilty by association because you didn't do anything about it.

You didn't have a conversation with me about it. You know, it's wrong. Like all of these things, right? But the majority of the scrolling that I've gone through that phone. Girls are much worse than boys. Oh, yeah. At 12? Yeah. Like, what are they thinking?

No, I don't know. They're diabolical. Like, here's the thing. When was the last article you read about a 12-year-old boy killing a 12-year-old boy? That's girls that are doing that. That's so- Why? I don't know. Horm hormones. I really have no idea. I feel like it's the the maturity level thing like boys are still rocking out there in crocs

with like shit that doesn't match. They don't care. They're still like in that phase of life. And girls it's like the Keeping Up with the Joneses mentality of like, who's who of the school. Yeah, I would I would agree that and just like, I don't know, I feel like even as adult women, like women are worse've known, women are not. Men can be bad in very specific ways. Don't get me started today. I know.

Men can be bad in very specific ways, but I feel like women just have a way of...we just have a way of turning shit into a shit storm. I definitely think we have the ability to drag situations out far worse than what men do, but men are dogs. Oh, for sure. Like, they're not, they're not much better. And sometimes they can be worse in very specific areas. But I think in general, what I have learned in the last year and a half to two years about just women in general and how they operate and shit, it's like, not not for me. You know, I think that at some point in your life, and maybe I'm there. So at 35, you start really closing in that circle. Oh, mine never opened. I was born with a closed circle. Like, you just get to a point where you're like, actually don't have the capacity to do this within any 24 hours, not just like this 24 hours, like any 24 hours. Okay, I have

to tell you something. And then we're moving on. Have you ever accidentally left your fridge open just like a little crack, not realizing that it was not all the way closed? Yeah, but mine yells at me when I do that. Well, evidently mine's not yelling because I never heard her. And all of my stuff is like, what do they call that on the top? Like frostbite? Oh, yeah. What do you mean from the freezer or the fridge? The freezer like the little drawer on the bottom.

Oh, okay. So it has all right. I feel freezer burn freezer burn, but is it on top of the actual item? Yeah, and all over my ice cubes and all over everywhere. See, that is a question of when I call my mom and I say, Mom, is this good or bad? Speaking of calling moms, my nanny tried to call me three times today and I'm alarmed of what could potentially be going on.

Does she not like text you to give you like a, hey, just call me? Hey, no. Should we find out if she is? Yeah, I'm scared. Hold on. Here we go. This is another pet peeve that I have. Hello? Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. Okay, well, you don't sound good. Well, I got, I believe I'm getting another term, bladder infection. Oh, Lord. Well, I'm recording to let another darn bladder infection.

Oh Lord. Well, I'm recording so let me call you back. I wanted to call and check and make sure you were okay. Yeah, I'm on the sofa. All right. I love you, bye. Did she not sound? She sounded like she was like,

fluey and then said bladder infection. Yeah. You know what's so weird? That some women are more susceptible to, like, bladder infections, UTIs, yeast infections than others. Let me tell you what I learned about something, a fun fact about MS, is apparently becomes super common for you to get UTIs and shit like that. And I'm over here, like, wondering why in the past year a half, I've had all these doctors be extra concerned about, are you having any issues urinating? Are you having any issues peeing? Are you having any issues? Are you? I literally looked at my one doctor before I went out to Mayo and I said, Am I supposed to be having a problem? having a problem?

asking me the same question. So confused. No, evidently, it's like super common because obviously nerves and muscles and all that like control stuff in your brain, and spine and stuff. Evidently super common. I said, let me tell you all right now, I have only gotten knock on wood when you won UTI in my entire life. I am not signing up for that. I got one UTI when I was in college and I didn't even realize that it was a UTI until I had a kidney infection.

Apparently it can go to your kidneys untreated. Yeah. But I wasn't having any of the common symptoms of a UTI until my back started hurting in the way that it did. And I was like, I've got to go to urgent care or something like my back's falling off. Like, I don't know what's happening. And I go and they're like, well, you have a UTI and a kidney infection. And it's very common that if a UTI is untreated that it can go to your kidneys. I didn't even know I had a UTI. I had not a single symptom. And I was in the hospital for something else that was going on. And they just make you pee in a cup to see if you're pregnant when you're a woman and peed in the cup. And they came back and they were like, Oh, you have a UTI. And I was like, Okay, but I had that was the only time I had one had no clue had not a single symptom, but I had an old friend of mine that she wouldn't even know she had it until she had a kidney

infection. See, that's exactly all the time and I won't even get into the description. But like when she would piece stuff would come out and that's how she would know what was going on. What do you mean stuff would come out and that's how she would know what was going on. What do you mean stuff would come out? Like almost looked like tissue. Like discharge? I don't well no not discharge it was like stuff was coming out in her urine. I know but like was she sure it wasn't discharge? Yeah it was like tissue-y and they said that's every I went to the hospital with her one tissue-y and they said that's every,

I went to the hospital with her one time for it and they said she had a kidney infection and it was like white blood cells or something like that, like clumped together like white blood cells or something. Oh my God. Yeah, I was disgusted, I truly was disgusted. I was like, we were like 19. You know what we're also getting at the age of?

Kidney stones. I feel like I started hearing my parents have about them having kidney stones like around this age. Look, Cory's brother gets them frequently. Because he has like a secondary something system. Can you imagine a rock coming out of the head of your dick? The way that that poor kid has had to go through that. And he showed me, he showed me.

Yes, but he showed it to me before. Like he showed me one that he peed out. And I was like, you really have to understand anatomy because at first when I took a glance, I looked at it. I looked at him, I said, that thing is, you're crying that bad over that thing. But then I had to really like look into the anatomy and realize like how big that thing was in comparison to like all like the tubes and stuff inside.

Oh yeah, but it's also like, from what I understand I've never had one. But my dad one time told me that they have like spurs on them. Yes, they're not like smooth. They're smooth. And so it feels like something's like cutting through you. Yep. And I'm like the way I'm so glad that I don't have a dick. I don't know if it's honestly, I really don't know if it's any better coming out of a, you know, know, or like we've just got like more space in that area to like work with.

Um, we're talking like, um, I need to find out who's who's your wreaths? A man or a woman's? Yeah. It's got to be a woman's. No. It's gotta be a woman's. No. It's not? No. The male urethra is typically longer and bigger than the female urethra.

With males having a urethra, that's roughly seven to eight inches long, while the female urethra is about opens to the outside, just the interior to the opening, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, no. So the male's is bigger. I have heard women say that it's worse than childbirth. I've heard that as well. And I'm like, have you ever had a child though?

Like is the person that's saying this ever had a baby? I've heard it come out of people's mouths that have had babies, yeah. Dear Lord, listen, when we were talking about genetic predispositions for things, I feel like I am genetically predispositioned or disposed for kidney stones because there's been multiple people in my family that have gotten them for several generations. The way that I will cuss my family members out that came ahead of me if I get a kidney stone. I mean, I'm not gonna lie to you. I absolutely looked my mom dead in the face and was like, who the fuck in this family has MS? You're like, I need their contact number. I need to know everything. I need to know when they were diagnosed. Why

did you give this to me? Yeah. And it's not a damn soul that I can believe. I was like, now I got beef with somebody and I don't know who it is. Speaking of diagnosis, I just looked up that article on people of Katie Thurston from Bachelorette. It says, Katie Thurston says breast cancer might be stage four after spots found on her liver. It says that it was announced that she announced her diagnosis last month on Instagram, revealed on her Instagram stories that her cancer

may have progressed from stage three to stage four after signs of the disease discovered on her liver causing her to pause treatment. In a quote, she says, my biopsy is scheduled for Friday, which would have been my treatment day. We now wait. She seemed to be learning more on the cancer in the liver versus optimistic that it was nothing. I think in her position, I could totally understand why it would be really hard to feel like it's nothing when you've already got so much going on. Not the same situation. But like, when I went into the hospital and I got my results for my first scan and researched them myself, I was like, okay, so like, something's wrong. And it was like, Oh, well, it could just be nothing. It could be this, it could be that. And then as things progressed within the last year and a half, I was like, No, something's definitely wrong. So like, it's, when shit's already bad, it's, I can

totally understand her position. I hope for her sake that it's nothing, but I can understand where she's coming from. I hope for her sake that it's nothing, but I could understand where she's coming from. I feel like stage three and stage four, it's so iffy. And I'm only saying that because of my friend Katie, who was diagnosed immediately off the bat stage three. So seems like she probably was diagnosed with stage three originally,

and then it metastasized somewhere. The way that it spread so fast through her body to other organs was crazy. I think that you don't realize how fast something like that can take over your entire body. Yeah. That's why early detection is key, but it's so hard. Don't even get me freaking started. It's so hard. Like, don't even get me freaking started. It's so hard. The early detection conversations, while I think they're great conversations to have, there are a lot of people who have signs and symptoms of what they would think was not cancer and have no idea what it

could be and then be diagnosed with cancer. As females in general, and I don't want to go down like this whole tangent on this, but I can speak for myself that I had shit going on before I ended up in the hospital that I just ignored because I thought, Oh, it's, I'm working a lot. Oh, I'm tired. Oh, I'm traveling a lot for like, whatever, like I'm, you know, just chopped it up. And as women, we just keep pushing, like, we just keep going. And not that anything in my case would have changed. If,

you know, I found out sooner, in situations like cancer, a lot can change. 1000% I mean, I think of Katie Harrell, I think she was just laying in the bed one night, from what I recall, I think of Katie Harrell. I think she was just laying in the bed one night from what I recall and just felt a small lump like it wasn't anything significant. I know that she preaches a lot on her Instagram just over and over and over like self-exam, self-exam, self-exam. That's terrifying.

And I also think that like doctors don't do enough to teach people how to give themselves self-exams. No. And also, a lot of women have lumpy breast tissue in general, right? So if you don't even know what you're feeling for, that's also difficult to identify what's something that's not concerning and what's something that is concerning. I've found several lumps before and gone in and had breast specialists say, okay, we need you to get a mammogram and I've been denied. So it's difficult.

It's just a lot of things that need to improve there. There are a lot of women that do have more dense breast tissue, which I do believe makes the self-examining harder. When I first started doing self-exams, which was like back in probably my mid-20s, maybe like 25, I felt dense breast tissue like at the top of my breast and I was like, Oh my god, that's

like a softball size tumor. Yeah. And I make a doctor's appointment and go in and she showed me how to like give myself a self exam. And she was like, no, there are some people that just have way more dense breast tissue than others. You have very dense breast tissue and this is how you do the exam. I just wish that that was something that was taught

and a part of some type of doctor's appointment that women go to. Yeah, like maybe your first GYN visit. This is how to give yourself a breast exam. Just because I feel like the more familiar with your own tissue you are, the higher likelihood that you're going to know something is off. 1000%.

I'm so nosy. I just wanted to know what everybody else was on 23andMe, but I wanted nobody to know about me on 23andMe. I get that. I get it. So it says, what does this mean for your DNA data privacy? It says the genetic testing company 23andMe has filed for bankruptcy,

prompting people who have used the service and sent DNA samples to be analyzed to wonder what will happen to their genetic data. The company says the filing does not change how it stores, manages, or protects customer data, but some privacy experts are recommending that people who have used 23andMe delete their data, giving concerns not only about a potential buyer

getting access to sensitive information, but also hackers who might take advantage of the up people to gain access to it. It says in a quote, what we're witnessing with 23andMe is a stark wake-up call for data privacy. It says genetic data isn't just a bit of personal information, but a blueprint of your entire biological profile.

When a company goes under this personal data is an asset to be sold with potentially far reaching consequences. I never did any of the DNA things. I don't know. Terrifying. Yeah. I never did. I just there was no particular reason I just didn't do it. But I'm very glad that I didn't do 23. Now for sure. Why was that the one I picked? You know, I think 23 and me I feel like was one of the first ones that I recognize like the name of so I feel like maybe

they've just been around more or maybe their marketing was better. But like, how are they filing bankruptcy? I don't understand. I don't know. It's a great question. I mean, there's things companies file bankruptcy all the time, and then they come back. So depends on what type of bankruptcy that you file. Yeah, chapter 11 or chapter 13, it says 23andMe filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. It says that the CEO has stepped down effective immediately and says that it will look to sell substantially all of its assets through a court approved reorganization plan. So this, I guess, filing Chapter 11 is a restructure. I'm very intrigued by the CEO stepping down. Same. Same. It's raising red flags to me.

What internally is going on? Right. Exactly. Exactly. Right. Exactly. Exactly. It says that it says that filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection will help facilitate a sale of the company, meaning that it is seeking new ownership. The company says it wants to pull back on its real estate footprint and has asked the court to reject lease contracts in different areas of the United States to help cut cost. But the company plans to keep operating during this process. Interesting. So it sounds like they're trying to get rid of buildings? Yeah, but like,

I just feel like there's way more to this story. At the point that a CEO steps down and it says effective immediately. Yeah, there's usually there's usually a reason behind that. Mm hmm. It says that there would be job cuts. They have data of nearly 7 million customers. Holy crap. But apparently there was a $30 million class action lawsuit that was accusing the company of failing to protect customers whose

personal information had already been exposed. Okay, we might be catching on to what the fuck is going on. Yeah, like data leak. Okay. Well, if y'all are on 23and me, then go and delete all of your information. You're like get off immediately. Just to be safe, go and delete it all. Seriously. two things I have to talk to you about. Did you see that Nellie said that he married Ashanti so that she wouldn't be a baby mama?

Wait, no. And like, I'm a huge Nellie fan and an Ashanti fan. Yes. So I was like, I see this headline, right? So I'm immediately like, I got to pull this up. And I got to see what's going on because I want your take on this. Okay? So I'm immediately like, I got to pull this up. And I got to see what's going on. Because I want your take on this. Okay. So your take, okay. So according to Nellie, when they found out that they were pregnant, they hadn't talked about getting married or anything yet. Um, he said that after that, and then like seeing how the relationship was going,

that he realized this was something that he wanted to do. So direct quote was from I was like, yo, you know what, let's just knock this out because we're going to be doing so much and everything's moving so fast. I didn't want her to be a baby mama. You know what I mean? Said Nelly because we already knew where we were in life. If we're back like this, this must be what it's supposed to be. So it was like a direct, direct quote from him. Um, how common do you think that this actually like that mindset actually is? It's like you find out that you're pregnant. I mean, yeah, you guys find out you're pregnant in a relationship and you're just like, well, like when you're our ages, are you just like, fuck it, let's get married?

So I can only speak to personally, in the 90s, what my parents did, because that was a very crazy time of life, I feel like. And I feel like certain things during that time and it could just be geographical raising, right? Like in the South, that if someone gets pregnant out of wedlock, then you are too married so that you and I'm quoting what I've been told so that you do I've been told so that you do not bring a bastard into the world. I know that was the reasoning behind my parents getting married. And I feel like that was super common. And then I felt like we kind of got out of that. And people were just having babies.

But it's really crazy because I have had multiple conversations with my nanny had had conversations with my parents. And although that was a mindset that they fell into, whether it be societal pressures, whatever, they have all collectively told me you don't create another problem by one you feel like you're already in. problem by one you feel like you're already in. Interesting. And it's really it's just interesting just based upon geographically where they are and then also like what they what they actually turned around and did. But I think it's you live and you learn right so if you did it

and it failed. You probably look back on that situation and you're like, well, you know what, if I would have just had the kid and we would have focused on individually raising the child, there would have never been a divorce. My child would have never known any different. So I do think that both things can be true.

Like they did it and now they're like, okay, yeah, you don't just get married because you get pregnant. Do you think two things from this? Do you think one that Ashanti knew that that was like the mentality? And like, do we think she agreed? And two, if you if this were like you in that situation, and your husband publicly said, like, this is why we got married? How would how do you think How would, how do you think you would feel? Like, do you think you would care? I really don't think that I would care because it's honest. And I think that a lot of times people try to run bakery bakeries and make

something that it's actually not. So I respect the honesty in this situation and feel like it probably is a lot more common than what any of us would think, would I, okay, in a hypothetical situation, if I got pregnant, I would not get married because I got pregnant. Okay. And I've said that to him. Yeah, I was saying you're not think that you are like, fixing a problem by a situation. And so like, what is his take? I think would be fine either way. I mean, obviously at my age, I would like things to go in a way

that I did the first time. Like you date, you get engaged, you get married, you have baby. If it doesn't happen like that, that was God's will. I'm totally fine with it. And just cause I get pregnant would absolutely have no bearing on me getting married or not. Because that's something that I hate. And I've seen this go down

in my own life where someone will have a baby, like a couple have a baby. And it's well, what do you guys know? When are you guys gonna get married? Like you might or my favorite you might as well already. You might as well get married. You have a kid together or you have a kid together or you have kids together. And I'm like, why is, why is- That's what you don't understand

because every child is created in different circumstances, right? Like there are some children that are created in a home where they are long for and yearn for and try for. And then there are some children that are created in one night stand situations. There are a plethora of situations that can lead us to the same end result, right?

I personally, if I'm just dating somebody and we're sleeping together and we're all nilly-willy doing stuff and I pop up pregnant, that does not immediately mean that we're having a conversation about marriage. Like, when did you start thinking about that? Like, I question the integrity of that thought. I've just never understood it. I've never understood, like, why does one correlate to the other?

I would love to actually talk to my therapist about this and if she thinks I'm crazy. Report back because I want to know. I will absolutely be reporting back. What is this situation about the top 10 most expensive beanie babies that you wanted to chat about because I already know them without even looking at this article, probably. Okay. Let's see. Like if you guess any of the ones that are on here.

Okay. I know the most expensive beanie Baby that you can have and I have it is the Princess Diana Beanie Baby. I literally knew that you had that. No, honey, like, have it is not even like, have it in a collector case with a in a collector case with a tag protector on it. So this one specifically, so it's the top one is the Princess Diana bear but with errors.

So what's the errors? It says a few like rare ones with errors can get way more money. I don't really know. I'm assuming just like flaws, maybe. Why would you want to flawed Beanie Baby? I don't know. But apparently, says it was introduced on October 29 1997 and retired on April 13 1999. This Beanie Baby was designed to honor the late Princess Diana. This royal purple bear has a purple ribbon tied around its neck and its chest is adorned with an embroidered rose. Some of these can sell for a few thousand, but rare ones with errors can fetch a whopping sum from some collectors.

So it's selling for 50k to 325k on eBay. Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm going to correct you guys because I've tried to sell Beanie Baby on eBay one time, the McDonald's one. And I was trying to go off the price that other people put on there. And I'm like, well, they're obviously selling for that. No, just because somebody listed it as that does not mean they're selling for that. No. So for this article, they pulled what's actually sold for this. Okay, but you would have to be an absolute psychopath. I mean, probably me to pay $50,000. Like I don't want the Beanie Baby that bad because I have it.

50 to 325 K. Okay. Well, I'm looking at this list and I have had all of these Beanie Babies. Truly. I definitely had Iggy the Iguana. Why is she only going for $16,000 like that pisses me off. You're offended. I am because she was one is as she's one of the original nine Beanie Babies.

He made her debut on January 6 1993 and was retired on January 5 1998. You're pissed. I'm fucking pissed because she was an OG. She really was. So I had to pull it because I saw it come up and I was like, Lindsay would know, like Lindsay would know. But I do have to talk to you about this what new bassinet situation. Have you been following this?

Bassinet? This new bassinet scenario? I mean, I know what the snoo is like I'll probably you haven't heard about this at all. No. Okay. Trigger warning for infant loss, child loss, and death just skip forward a couple of minutes. So backstory, SNU works with influencers. Yes. So there was an influencer that was pregnant. That got the SNU. Her baby passed away before she gave birth. They fucking asked her for the snoo back Wait what yeah

Yeah, so I pulled an article so I can give you like full context That's what I don't understand about some companies and like mm-hmm why they think this is gonna go any other way Okay, so the headline of this is from today.com popular baby brand apologizes after asking mom morning baby's death to return the new bassinet. Popular brand is facing backlash after asking an influencer to return a bassinet when her baby died last year. So you think you can dance alum Brooklyn Larson was gifted a $1,700 new smart bassinet in exchange for tagging the company happiest baby and any related content that she shared. Larsen's sister, Kenna B.

I don't want to butcher her last name, wrote in a since expired Instagram story that the company demanded she returned the equipment after her son Rocky died right before birth in November of 2024. The sister said the request was made because Larsen was no longer able to fulfill the promotional agreement. I want you to think about why she couldn't deliver the content, her sister wrote. I'm absolutely disgusted by a baby brand who promotes support for moms and babies that doesn't even have the decency to give her the space to grieve the bassinet she never got to fill. Her sister said that other brands have treated Larson's situation with grace and empathy and not like a transaction. A spokesperson for Happiest Baby tells Today.com in an exclusive statement that the company sincerely apologizes for the misguided and ill-conceived communication sent to Larson's

management team from one of its team members. We cannot express more emphatically our deepest sympathy for what she and her family have been through following the loss of her son. The statement reads, in part, what was intended to be an effort to provide assistance clearly was a mistake that added to Brooklyn's grief for which we are truly sorry. We have taken internal steps to make sure it never happens again. What Brooklyn faced was a tragedy beyond comprehension and we are heartbroken for her loss. Larson and her sister did not respond to her request for comment from today. Many people, including fellow So You Think You Can Dance alum Whitney Carson and Alison Cooch have been leaving messages

on Happiest Baby's social media accounts, expressing their outrage. Very disappointed in your brand and the way you have handled the situation with Brooklyn. Be better for future mothers. Lost me as a customer and supporter, Carson wrote. Added Cooch, disgusted by the lack of human compassion and empathy. I just don't understand why that would be logical. And the only reason they made a statement was because it went public. There would have been no statement that was made,

in my opinion, no apology sent. And also, what are you going to use that SNOOB as a net for whenever you get it back? Because there are certain items that once they've like left a factory and they're unboxed, they can't resell that. Also, they said something in there about we were offering, like what was supposed to be offering assistance. What the fuck assistance did you think you were offering

by bringing up a contractual obligation to someone who just lost their child? Like, have no doubt that she would have fulfilled said contractual obligations if she was able to use the bassinet. And you know, a lot of people that deal with loss with infants, I know that I've seen multiple girls just over years on Instagram where they will keep something from that period of loss and feel like that child is a part of the next part of the journey. So who's to

say that's not how she was feeling? I truly like, there's probably so many other things that anybody involved in the situation was thinking about besides the fricking bassinet and what deliverables were do. I'm truly disgusted. Like I will never support that brand like ever. That's just something that, and just like the generic PR response. Like, that's the thing. That's what I can never get behind. It lacks any type of like, human touch. Yeah. It just seems very, oh, shit, we went to our PR because we're fucked.

Yeah, we went to our crisis management team because we fucked ourselves. And now we have to say something. Like I... Nope, not for me. So I didn't know if you've been following that. I had seen some things come up about it and I was like, no, I have to talk to Lindsey about this because craziest shit that I've seen in a long time. Like way to be, that's beyond just calling

it insensitive. No, that's, that's beyond. And now I want to unfollow everybody who has a snoo. We are banning snooze. Like it pisses me off. Okay, we have a listener topic. Are we the asshole? My husband's sister has a two yearyear-old whose birthday is a few days before Christmas. She asked the family come to two separate weekends in December, one for Christmas and one for her son's birthday

so that it's a separate occasion for him. My husband and his siblings have explained to her that this is not doable during a busy time of year and that we can separate Christmas and his birthday on the same weekend so it still feels special for him. This past December we combined and she didn't like it. We got on the topic of this weekend, we got on the topic of this this weekend, which is why I'm bringing this up now. I'm not a mom. Well, that's I'm going to need to pause there, but the rest of the family

is being assholes or maybe she's being a little unreasonable. She also prefaces we all live three hours away and we should have separate day for Christmas and separate day for his birthday just on the same weekend. OK. I completely disagree with this. And here's why. I have a child that's born four days after Christmas and that's not that child's fault. They were born that time of the year and they shouldn't have to feel like it's being pigeonholed into another holiday. I agree. Okay, because Cory's birthday is the 21st of December. So he is four days before Christmas.

We definitely always celebrate him completely separate of Christmas. He gets separate gifts and everything because I want him to feel like his day is special and different than Christmas and he's an adult. So I would do the same for any child. What I will say is the three hours away part. Here's my here's my take. Okay, here's my take. Here's my take, okay? Here's my take. I think even doing it in the same weekend is really tough because you can't differentiate between what's the Christmas celebration and what's the birthday. Like, yeah, you could put you can't make it both weekends to celebrate Christmas and then the birthday? Like, is the sister who has the two year old pissed off if you can't make it? Because if she's not, then it sounds like a complete you problem. Like, I have never been upset during times that I know the holidays are so hectic.

Me having a baby on December the 29th was hectic. However, Will and I always from the time that we celebrated Jackson's first birthday, we always celebrated with him solo on his birthday and did not do his birthday party until January. Oh, okay. Because Will's dad's birthday is New Year's Day. Okay. There's like a lot going on and I feel like people who have children around holiday times, it doesn't have to be Christmas, it could be Thanksgiving like any other holiday.

It is so incredibly difficult. The day after Christmas, I take down all of my Christmas decorations and we are full blown birthday because I've always wanted him to be able to feel like we aren't celebrating something else. We're celebrating you. Well, it's Wednesday, March 26, and my main Christmas tree downstairs is still up, so. Pardon? Yeah. Do you not worry about it getting like dust is on it? Oh no, it keeps getting, like we keep it taken care of,

but it just hasn't come down yet. Does it have ornaments on it? Yes, it does. Can you take a picture of this and put it on the Facebook? Yeah, I can. No, ma'am. Absolutely. No, ma'am. There are people who literally store their holiday trees. Just like the way that they put them up, right? Like with the ornaments on it and everything like in a basement. And then

they just pull that shit right back out. I'm like, how do I become you? I wish I could genuinely I actually didn't even realize that it was I've been living I've living I've been living a lot of my life upstairs and that one's downstairs. So I came downstairs to go to Arizona and I like did a quick double take and I was like the fucking Christmas tree is still there. But some people also with like Christmas tree stuff, they will leave up the tree and change

out the ornaments for like different holidays of the year. Yeah. up the tree and change out the ornaments for like different holidays of the year. Yeah, that's like, yeah, but like, Easter really isn't giving Christmas tree. Right? Like, Easter is giving rabbit hole. You know, Easter is giving like a nice tool of wreath on your front door. giving like a nice tool of wreath on your front door. Also, I just need to tell everybody, um, in a list of like top three holidays, I want people to let us know what theirs are, because mine is Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving. Shit, what are my favorite ones?

If you can't just rattle it off, that means you don't like holidays. I liked holidays a lot more like years ago until I started hosting. I liked holidays. Nobody wants to be the host house. I don't care what anybody says. Like, if you are telling me, I'm, I love to be a host, I'm gonna call you a liar straight your fucking face because you're all your shits fucked up. You didn't get to

enjoy it because you've been taking little nibbles off of the food the whole way that you've been taking little nibbles off of the food the whole way that you've been going and now it just doesn't even taste that good anymore. It's here's the thing. I like not having to leave my house. That is a huge benefit. I like that. I want to leave.

I want to leave this place. I want to go somewhere else. I want to be a nice person in somebody else's home, and I want to leave their place and leave all of the shit that was transpiring at that home there. I want to stay in my house, but my whole thing is like, if I had like a good solid week to prepare for like Christmas to do it the way I want it, and also same thing for Thanksgiving, I would be down.

It's just the time that it takes and lives are busy and all of that stuff. Like, you know, I just that makes it rough. But if I had more time, I would love it. I would. So before we move on to foul play, what are your three top holidays? Three top holidays. I love Christmas Eve, specifically Christmas Eve. I love Christmas Eve too. Okay. So I love Christmas Eve. I love Christmas Eve too. Okay. So I love Christmas Eve. I love New Year's Eve and I love the 4th of July.

See I don't even, I don't love New Year's Eve. I love New Year's Day because I need to eat all of the foods that are going to make me healthy, wealthy and what is it? Healthy, wealthy and what is it healthy, wealthy and blessed. Let's go with blessed. Did we make one up? Like, that's what I love. And then I love to take a nap. On New Year's Eve. I love New Year's Eve because we do I started like you know how I started the whole like pasta bar thing on Christmas Eve. I did this whole thing for the last two, maybe three years where we do nothing but dips on New Year's Eve. It's just dips.

Like, oh my god, like, we do stuff like that for Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. It's like finger foods. Yeah, like appetizers. Like appetizers. I specifically, for two of the three years, I was like nothing but dips on New Year's Eve. We have to come up with all different, like we need to have like our appetizer dips, we need to have our like main course situation dips, and we need to have dessert dips. So like we did it.

This past year- I'm coming to your house. Feel free, everyone's welcome. So we did that. And then this past year, Cory really wanted me to make him pigs in a blanket. So I did that. I love a good pig in a blanket. Maybe I need to make this like on Instagram on how I do them because I hijacked the pig in a blanket recipe from my ex mother-in-law and she makes the most

bomb ass pig in the blankets ever. I need to see how you do it because I'm basic. Like you use a long wiener? No. You use the little smokies? Yeah. Okay. Then you must be very basic because this has like melted butter with with a whisk thing.

What do they call those, like, brushes? It's like a baster, like a basting brush. Like a baster? Poppy seeds, like a specific kind of cheese. Oh, no, there's no cheese involved in mine. It's literally the crescent rolled dough, and I cut it thin, and I roll that bitch up and shove it in a thing.

No, no, that is the basic pick in a blanket. Yes, it is. My ex-mother-in-law is royalty and, mm-hmm. You're gonna have to recreate this for us. I will definitely recreate this for you guys. Just check out my Instagram and if you guys see me rolling wieners, then you know. Yeah, 100%. You know why? Okay, we have foul play. Hey, kitty

gang, I finally have my own story for foul play and let me tell you it's foul. Let's start with a shoot. Let's start with a short and sweet backstory. My daughter started daycare and was on day four of attending I knew she was going to become sick before the week was over because her daycare room looked like an emergency waiting room for the amount of children sick, stuffed inside. On the fourth night she woke up extremely hot vomiting and fever of 40. What? Maybe

they was a person in the the UK was gonna say this might have meant Celsius. Yeah. I'm like because 40 sounds dead. Or it's a typo. 40 is giving dead. She couldn't keep down the medication I gave her. So I knew that she had to be taken in. On the way there. I felt a storm brewing in my stomach, but I had no choice but to continue on as we were sitting with the triage nurse. I couldn't control that rumble anymore. I already know where this is going. I put her in the stroller to keep her contained because I knew I'd be hitting up the bathroom as soon as I left the room. I was actually

nervous. I wouldn't make it in time because it was only intensifying every minute that went by. I was starting to sweat. My daughter started screaming because she didn't wanna be strapped into her stroller. The nurse made comments about how mad she was and she didn't wanna be in there. Homegirl, I know she doesn't wanna be in there just as much as I don't wanna have explosive diarrhea in this bathroom hospital.

We finally were done and I booked it to the bathroom. I hovered and it was just water. Well, more like sparkling water because of the intense bubble sounds that I had coming out with it. Ew. There was no fan and it was so loud. I'm certain everyone that was in the waiting room heard it. When I was one.

What are you doing? What? You've got to turn the sink on. If there's no fan to turn the sink on if there's no fan turn the sink on. I don't know of any person that does not turn the sink on that's doing like a public shit. What? When I was done, I lifted myself up turned around and there was shit all the way up the walls all over the toilet bowl and seeds. I don't sit on public toilets. I hover which really wasn't okay for this. I clean myself up and wipe down the toilet and walls with baby wipes and hid all of

the evidence by covering up with paper towel in the bathroom garbage. I walked out when found a seat only for someone to walk into the bathroom right after me. She came out minutes later and stared at me. I knew that she was judging. I was judging myself. So no shame in her judging me. And that she could just smell what I did. But I knew that this was not over and I had worse problems. It was round two of explosive diarrhea and it was a traumatic repeat of the same situation sprayed all on the walls all over the toilet.

I was in there over 10 minutes. So everyone knew I was fighting for my life in there. I knew this was just the start and I couldn't stay at the hospital alone with my daughter and thankfully the medication nurse gave her at triage she was able to keep down at this time. I walked out after claiming the bathroom again, went into the nurse's triage and told her I was going to continue to monitor her at home and bring her back if needed. She replied, I hope you both recover from the flu soon. I honestly couldn't run out fast enough. Listen, ma'am. Ma'am, there is nothing worse than flu shits or stomach bug shits.

Like, you couldn't pay me to admit this. shit. It's like, you couldn't pay me to admit this. I'm just confused. Like at the point that I have shits like this. Although I don't sit on public toilet seats either. That's an exception. I'm taking the risk of sitting on the public toilet seat. Because if you think I'm about to spray fucking walls, and I've got coming out of my about to spray fucking walls and I've got fucking bubbles coming out of my ass. You got me fucked up.

I'm just like not understanding. I need to get my shit together. I am not understanding how I got up the wall unless you were leaned forward. Well, I mean, if you're like in it, like if you're hovering, heels down, why heels down. So you are straight. Don't go on your tippy toes because then you're tillers as if in this situation with her, everything was up. Nothing was down. Could you imagine just like your butthole like blowing out a wall? Like, could you imagine just like your butthole like blowing out a wall like

could you imagine I've never in my life sprayed a wall like it's fucking all one time one time Jackson shit on a toilet seat at Chuck E. Cheese, because he was like trying to hover. Okay, well, then he fucking told me about it. And I'm like, number one, why were you shitting at Chuck E. Cheese? Like, that's number one. But like, why do men and boys shit anywhere? Anywhere. It does not matter where. Remember when my ex husband decided that he like my bathroom at my old house is

going to become the top like public bathroom for him. It's just like this is your ex wife's home like I don't ever know. But like men in general, I will never forget, Corey and I took my mom to this really famous like buffet that is two hours away from us. We went there because I grew up going there. Corey had never been my mom wanted to go back, whatever. So we all go. You lost me at famous buffet.

This man goes into the bathroom. He comes out laughing. And I'm like, I don't know why you're laughing from the bathroom. And he comes out laughing. And I'm like, I don't know why you're laughing from the bathroom. It's very odd. He's like, uh, we were all playing battle shits in there. I said, excuse me. Who is we all? Oh, when we'll had to work in an office, he used to tell me like every time of the day that he would go into the bathroom and take shit. And he would tell me like what people shoes looked like, like, if they were an all the way pants dropper where you could see their draws, like, I knew everything about every one.

They were in I said to Cory said, What the hell is battle shits? And he was like, ask any guy like they'll be able to tell you he's like, one goes then the other and you all laugh. Why are we worried about what somebody else is doing in another situation? This doesn't happen in a women's restroom. No, so we love I really feel feel for this person who wrote this in I'm hoping that you've recovered. Nothing like it. I'm genuinely concerned for the fucking walls.
